JANET BOLTAX

 

Procedure

I prefer to paint from life, although I can also work easily from clear digital photographs that can be downloaded onto the computer. I prefer to take the photographs myself, but if the client chooses to provide them, it is essential that they be of high-quality resolution. A portrait from life requires approximately six sittings that average two to three hours per sitting. The portrait can be painted in my studio or at a location of the client’s choice. Together the client and I will decide upon the size, setting and mood of the painting, clothing to be worn and accompanying pets* or objects. Before beginning the painting I will show a sketch to the client for approval. For those clients who live at a distance from me, I can photograph the painting at different stages of the process and send J-Pegs to the client for his or her approval.
